You're flyin'! That's like fiber. 763x8 > 5.6Mb

it's 763k / 8 = 95KB/s

Uh, I think you've got it all wrong: that's 763Kb/8~95KB/sec... ;)

Oh... 763 kilo-bits, not bytes. I was wondering why DSL was kept being mentioned and not FIOS. 5-7Mbs is what Verizon offers in parts of the Dallas area. Unfortunately, not this area.

Aren't k and K the same?

Though, m and M are not. :sweat:

I was right. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix

Injuneers yuunite...!! :woot:

true, but if i tried to d/l at anywhere near full speed, the connection would die.

Yeah I know. I'm at work........ at home it's less. But soon we'll be getting 24000/1000 connection.

bmw you'd have to be happy with yours after dialup?

i had 1.5 for a long time until SBC bought AT&T and they offered a good price for upgrading to 6MB

Most assuredly, sir. :victory:

Ahhh... you can never go back after trying DSL. When we first went online with DSL at work, it was a measly 256/64 connection (base line here) but it was so much better than dialup that I got 512/128 at home almost straight away :P
